WaPo reporter apologizes after Trump calls out 'wrong' rally photo

President Donald Trump responded to chants of "lock her up" by citing the "rigged system", while speaking at a rally in Pensacola, Florida, on Friday night. "FAKE NEWS, he should be fired", the president tweeted.

Trump's tweets attacking Weigel and calling for his termination from the Post were his latest targeting news outlets and reporters on Saturday.

"This is Donald Trump bypassing the mainstream media - he talked about it last night - and going directly to the American people with his message of hope, growth and opportunity", Lewandowski said on "Fox & Friends Weekend".

An hour earlier, Trump blasted the reporter, Dave Weigel, for posting the photo and demanded an apology. The photo Weigel shared, however, was taken before all the rallygoers or the president had arrived, and the venue eventually did ultimately fill up to what looked like capacity by the time Trump's speech began.

The crowd's chant - referring to Trump's former Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton - and his railing on a "rigged" system harkened back to the 2016 election. "Demand apology & retraction from FAKE NEWS WaPo!"

Weigel, who said he deleted the photo after about 20 minutes, wrote, "Sure thing: I apologize".

However, US President Donald Trump was not satisfied with frank apologies and instant response by The Washington Post journalist and suggested firing Weigel. I deleted the photo after David Martosko of Daily Mail told me I'd gotten it wrong. "Very fair to call me out", Weigel later tweeted.

East Jerusalem has been occupied since 1967 and the USA president's declaration does not change this truth, she stressed. Rajoub said last night that the Palestinian Authority was not interested in welcoming Pence inside its territory.

With up to 10cm of snow expected, an amber Met Office weather warning is in place as road, rail and air travel delays are likely. The warning on the Met Office said: "Wintry showers will gradually become confined to the far north of Scotland overnight".

USA officials talk of "threading the needle" - fulfilling Trump's campaign pledge, while keeping the peace process on the rails. He added that political leaders should work to bring peace, not stir things up.

The KCNA earlier reported that he met North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho and visited United Nations project sites Thursday. It also said Feltman acknowledged that worldwide sanctions are having a negative impact on humanitarian aid to North Korea.

He lost his WBO welterweight title to Jeff Horn in Australia, in what was later termed as a controversial decision. That fight came five months after Diaz submitted McGregor in their first fight at UFC 196.
